Thomas

Class of 2019

Major, Minor Accounting, Information Systems

After researching career paths and an internship with a commercial real estate developer, Thomas declared accounting major and a minor in information systems. With his eye on a career as a senior-level financial executive, Thomas is hoping a career in public accounting will begin at a regional or national accounting firm or in a corporate finance role. At Loyola, he appreciates the skills he gains through the liberal arts education, as well as his courses in the Sellinger School of Business. “Loyola’s strong sense of community and active student body are important to me,” he says. In addition to his internships with Federal Business Centers and Newmark Knight Frank, one highlight has been participating as a member of a team and winning PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Challenge competition. “Collaborating with team members over the span of a week to create and present a solution to a complex business problem was valuable,” he says. “My team utilized many of the skills emphasized at Loyola, including presentation skills, critical thinking, and teamwork.”
